In most women, the labia minora are seen only when the legs are separated. However, in some women, large labia minora are visible when the legs are not apart, or are barely separated. This can cause embarrassment, self-consciousness, and distance in relationships. Enlarged labia may also be noticeable in tight fitting pants, and can cause discomfort during intercourse or with exercise. Enlarged labia are usually congenital but may be increased from hormonal changes or childbirth. The labiaplasty procedure contours and sculpts the labia, improves functionality and quality of life.
As a woman, Dr. Lee understands her clients’ desire to look and feel their best, from head to toe. She delivers beautiful, nuanced results that are highly personalized to your express wishes and goals. Dr. Lee utilizes a technique of labia minora reduction (labiaplasty), which preserves the contour, color, and anatomy of the labia minora edge. The excess labium is excised in a "V" manner and the upper and lower edges are sutured together. Therefore, the only suture line visible on the edge is a small transverse line instead of a long longitudinal vertical suture line. This significantly decreases the discomfort and visibility of the procedure.
